摘要
A complication to the process of remotely generating tool paths is that mechanism controllers are typically capable of commanding a robot or machine tool to move along linear and circular arc space segments. This paper considers the decomposition of parametrically described, higher-order curvilinear paths into piecewise linear and circular path segments, thereby reducing the data required to store a higher order path. Whereas inaccuracy calibration techniques for mechanisms such as robots have previously focused on the compensation of a particular space point or pose, this paper considers the problem of calibrating a continuous tool path to within a specified tolerance. A systematic method is applied to determine how closely spaced decomposition segments must be to ensure that the decomposed path satisfies the required tolerances.
